What you need to know
The Program has a two-step process:
Businesses need to visit www.gov.bc.ca/businessrecoverygrant to learn how the program works, determine eligibility requirements, and see what they need to apply.
Then they are ready for Step One: start their application.
After an application is received, the BC Government reviews for eligibility, reaching out to applicants if they have any questions or need more info.
If eligibility is confirmed, businesses move to Step Two: complete a recovery plan.
Information is available on the Program website in languages other than English, including Simplified Chinese, Punjabi, French, Farsi, Korean, Vietnamese and more.
